Kite Runner

Recently, I've seen several incredible movies that have almost inspired me enough to begin blogging again, but I just couldn't seem to drag myself back to my page.

I guess this changed tonight after seeing "Kite Runner"

I knew the book was popular (it's on my never-completed list to read), but I had no idea what the story was about, other than a guy goes back to the middle-east to do something with his friend's son.

I'm glad I knew nothing before watching this movie, and for your sake, I'm not going to say much about it here.

I will say, "Go to the theater and pay whatever outrageous price theaters are charging in your town - it will be worth the price, whatever it is."

I would love to say more about my thoughts and emotions, but I'm really hesitant to spoil the free and pure experience you will have if you don't know anything about it.

I watched the movie with some classmates and a thought-provoking professor who we all deeply admire. Afterwards, we went to a coffee shop to process - I could have sat for hours and discussed the many layers of this film and its characters.
I don't know the author's name, but that guy is brilliant.

Seriously, take a night and go watch this film.

I, too, loved the book. I hope the movie is half as good.
